This site was originally based on the content of Rebert's Rules of Ordure.
It has been expanded to provide a link to my WWII-airplanes history site Legends in Their Own Time, a compilation of material from WWII-contemporary magazines, and a link to a showplace for my observations and comments that don't fit neatly into the definitions format I used in Rebert's Rules of Ordure.

The intent of this site is not so much to espouse any particular idea or philosophy as to cause the reader to reconsider things he feels he has always known, or, in some cases, just to enjoy the word play.
